2459.—Death-Bed Salvation.—M. M.—Character is made up of two things, whole-souled purpose and experience. Where children who are not responsible die, and are saved in the kingdom of God, they will be like those who may be created in the future, they will be trained to character under conditions the result of which will be unquestionably good. Where persons receive Christ on their death-beds, it will be because there has been such a surrender to Him that He can then, and must then, receive them. Experience will be given in the life to come. But it may be quite seriously questioned whether most of the death-bed repentances are not very superficial, and but few genuine. This is demonstrated by many cases where the sick ones get well and go back to the husks of the world.
